Acer GD235HZ

Acer GD235HZ

We can count on one hand the number of people we know who have bought into Nvidia's 3D Vision gaming system—those shutter goggles haven't exactly been selling like hotcakes.

1920x1080 resolution; fast response time; good contrast in both lights and darks

Limited display inputs; no USB ports; some ghosting in 3D; restrictive stand

As it stands, the GD235HZ is the best monitor you can find for desktop 3D gaming or stereo 3D photographers. But it’s still considerably more expensive than a 60Hz monitor of a comparable size, and it isn’t even the best TN panel we’ve reviewed. We...

Acer GD235HZ

3D is still touted as the missing ingredient that will enhance our entertainment experiences, be it in movies or games. I've yet to be persuaded of this, but it doesn't stop many companies from dipping their toes into the 3D waters. On the PC gaming...

The Acer GD235HZ has great gaming performance, good movie playback, and includes the connection option trifecta of DVI, VGA, and HDMI.

The Acer GD235HZ is a high-performing 3D monitor that's great for gamers looking for a low-price 3D-capable offering.

Probably the price. No built (Nvidia vision) IR emitter, no built in speakers

Essential for 3D viewing

I am using the GD235HZ monitor between two Samsung Sync Master 2343awx 22" monitors. The GD235HZ is about one inch larger diagonally. The GD235HZ is much brighter. Brightness is essential for 3D viewing since the brightness to each eye is 50% of the...

Great 3D monitor. Very bright. Brightness is needed when the display is on only 50% of the time for each eye

Tech support insists on a fee for a simple display appearance problem
